If you can find this "python" on the jadeite raw stone, I guarantee you will be amazed after cutting it open!

The culture of "snake" and "python" has existed since ancient times, and its trace can even be traced back to the primitive society. Some clans have used snakes as totems. In Chinese history, snakes have also been endowed with legendary colors by our ancestors and have become an indispensable element in traditional culture. "Fuxi was born with scales", "Nuwa had a snake body", Liu Bang killed a snake and started an uprising to establish the Han Dynasty, White Snake met Xu Xian on the Broken Bridge in West Lake...

But do you know that there are also "pythons" in jadeite raw stones? However, the python here does not refer to an animal, but to the green color that moves in the raw stone like a snake.

- What is the "python" in jadeite -

Someone once described the python belt like this: its color is like a river in the stone. On the surface it looks like a gentle stream, but in fact it meanders through the rocks, giving people endless surprises.

Jade python is a term used to describe jade raw materials. Specifically, it refers to the strips or blocks of objects that appear on the skin of the jade raw stone, which are different from other places, and even wrap around most of the jade raw stone. Some are formed by arranged sand grains, and their appearance resembles a python or a rope, so they are called python, rope, or python belt.

- I would rather buy one line than one piece -

Regarding the green shape characteristics of jadeite raw stones, "a line" of green and "a large piece" of green near the skin are two manifestations of the same green shape, which is the difference between the vertical line and the horizontal piece. The thickness of a "line" is known, but its depth is unknown; the area of ​​a "sheet" is known, but its thickness is unknown. Generally speaking, the probability of betting on a single line rising is much higher than betting on a large area! Next, let me show you some comparisons after the python belt is cut:

- The formation of python -

Generally speaking, a fine-grained and dense epidermis is more resistant to weathering than a coarse-grained and loose epidermis, and the green parts are more resistant to weathering than the non-green parts. Therefore, the green areas inside the jadeite raw stone or the very old areas protrude to form a python belt.

- Characteristics of Python -

The python protrudes from the surface, is delicate and smooth, and does not feel rough when touched by hand. The green in the bulges of the jadeite raw stone is good green, while the green in the concave areas is not as good. There is a saying in the industry: "It is better to buy ten drums than one deflated one." If there are pine flowers on the python, it is a better omen. The shape, color, direction and tendency of the python are important indicators for judging the green changes of jadeite raw stone.

- Type of Python -

When identifying a python, the color of the python is often not obviously different from the surrounding area. Its patterns are sometimes obvious and sometimes vague and difficult to distinguish. It requires familiarity with the field and the patterns of the jadeite raw stone, as well as careful and patient long-term observation and exploration to avoid mistakes. The main types are as follows:

-01-

Emerald Python | White Python

Unlike the original color of the stone, the python is white and is called a white python. However, there are also white pythons on white stones, which makes it difficult to distinguish. Among this type of pythons, the grayish white one is the best, especially when there is a grayish white python on the black stone like snot, the chances of betting on an increase in value are very high. If there is a little pine flower on the python, it would be a rare performance. As long as there is a python in the stone from the Lao Pa-gan field in the old field area, you can bet on it. If it is the black sand from Lao Pa-gan, and there is a python with tendons, you can also bet on it!

-02-

Emerald Python | Silky Python

The surface of the stone is covered with pythons that look like wood grain. The color inside is also silky. Even if it is the black sand of Lao Pa Gan, if its skin is silk python, the inside is silky green and will not be connected into a piece.

-03-

Jade python | Belt python

That is, the python is wrapped around the middle of the stone or its head like a belt. If the belt is like a twisted rope, it is called a tight python. This phenomenon often indicates that the color inside is good. If there are pine flowers on such a python, it must be colorful, so don't miss it!

-04-

Jade python | Half python pine flower

You can gamble in any venue. If there are very few pine flowers, it depends on whether the seed is good.

-05-

Emerald Python | Kasan Python

This kind of python is usually colored, with pits and holes on its body, like a honeycomb. Most stones with the card three python have half thin skin and half thick skin, with a higher jade content, so they are more likely to bet on. It should be noted that if the python has formed a plaster-like state (that is, a layer of skin like a plaster), the jade content inside will not be high, and may even be colorless.

-06-

Jade python | Silk python with pine flowers

If the planting is good, the color will rebound. If the planting is poor, there will only be green threads and the color will be relatively simple.

-07-

Jade python | Silk, strips, dotted python with pine flowers

-08-

Jade python | Buckwheat python

The color looks very light, like a layer of flour. You need to splash some water to observe, it's better to gamble.

-09-

Jade python | Baotou python

A python belt wrapped around a corner is like wearing a headscarf. The price depends on the thickness of the python belt and the size of the part it is wrapped around.

-10-

Emerald Python | Large Python

Most of the time, the color can be seen by wiping it off.

-11-

Jadeite python | One stroke python

The shape is like a line drawn on hair. Look at its length and thickness, and pay attention to finding pine flowers.
